* Extended Hours

When We Are Closed

Please telephone the surgery or you may prefer to ring the direct line number 111. Please have a pen and paper handy to take down instructions.

It is important that out of hours calls are made for real emergencies so that the doctor’s time is left available for those real emergencies.

NHS 111

In the case of urgent need when the practice is closed you can call NHS111 on 111.

The NHS 111 service is staffed by a team of fully trained advisers, supported by experienced nurses. They will ask you questions to assess your symptoms, then give you the healthcare advice you need or direct you straightaway to the local service that can help you best. That could be A&E, an out-of-hours doctor, a walk-in centre or urgent care centre, a community nurse, an emergency dentist or a late-opening chemist.

Where possible, the NHS 111 team will book you an appointment or transfer you directly to the people you need to speak to. If you need an ambulance, one will be sent just as quickly as if you had dialled 999. Your needs will be assessed and advice offered or arrangements made for you to see a doctor.

Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
